Where have the good ol' days gone
Honestly, I think you're both right on the money. The new slasher flicks are for the new teen movie goers. However the anticipation of Scream (absolute shit, in my opinion) will NEVER compare to the suspense of Halloween or Nightmare on Elm Street. I mean, remember the scene when Nancy's in class, there's a dude reading Shakespear, and she sees Tina standing there in the body bag??? That was fucking brilliant. Scared the shit outta me.
I think Horror as a genre is making waves in the video game industry. Unfortunately we will never see a terrifying Final Fantasy:p (Now that would be funny...and please note the sarcasm), but we do get games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, oh and American McGee's Alice... When is an asylum not creepy? (Oh, probably in movies like Gothika....how do you spell disapointment).
